Letting Go

"But the way of the spiritual life is through renunciation, relinquishment, letting go not through attaining or acquiring. Even the jhanas* are relinquishments rather than attainments. If we relinquish more and more, letting go more and more, then the jhanic states are natural."
--Ajahn Sumedho, "Only One Breath" in "The Way It Is"
